3.1. Spam filtering
All spam messages fall into four types.
• apparent spam (SPAM);
• probable spam (PROBABLE SPAM);
• obscene content messages (OBSCENE);
• formal messages (FORMAL) including automatically generated
messages, e.g. messages from e-mail bots.
Since there are no absolute and comprehensive criteria for spam identification,
Kaspersky Anti-Spam Personal marks suspicious messages as PROBABLE
SPAM (suspicious of being spam, but not enough evidence to be classified as
SPAM).

of any of the above types is detected for the first time, the corresponding
quarantine folder will be created and the message will be moved into this folder.
